No hikers are allowed onto the trail after 9am – please do not be late! Hike briefings are held at 30min intervals according to starting slots (hike briefing is only necessary once – if you’ve done the trail before, you do still need to book for your hike but no need to stay for the hike briefing).
Unfortunately, the trail is NOT dog friendly due to wildlife and passing through multiple private farms.
Hiking Info:
There are 3 routes (you can decide which while on route):
- 6km Easy
- 8km Intermediate
- 10km intermediate.
Remember sunblock, hats and plenty of water! The guideline for an adult is 1 litre of water per 2 hours of hiking. The 8km route should take around 3.5 hours depending on fitness.
This is a hiking trail, not a garden stroll – comfortable hiking shoes are needed.
Park at the hiking trail parking. Follow the signage as you arrive at The Rusty Feather to the hiking trail. Here, you will sign-in and pay.
Arrive for sign-in at your designated time slot – we have maximum capacities per timeslot to ensure a distanced and enjoyable experience for all on the trail.
Your meal, if you have booked for this, will be at The Rusty Feather after your hike. Table reservations are confirmed via WhatsApp the day prior to your booking.
